Helping Haiti this January

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Humanitarian Center sends relief all over the world to those in need, whether for disaster or poverty. They are sending huge amounts of supplies to Haiti and are in need of more. The Church's Humanitarian Center is sending most of its hygiene kits and newborn kits to Haiti, these are the two kits we are going to help replenish.

This month for Tender Tots we will be collecting some of the supplies that are needed for these kits. We will meet at my house on Thursday January 28th at 10:30 am to allow the children to sort through and organize the items, so that they may see they help that they are offering. We will also briefly talk about what they are doing, why, and who the items will be helping. We will then carpool to the church where the items are being collected (which is only 2 blocks from my house). If you are unable to meet with us on the 28th please drop off the items that you have collected at my house. Also if you are unable to collect anyitems, you can donate money on the LDS Humanitarian Services site, or to Tender Tots, and we will purchase additional supplies.

Here is the list of items we are collecting:

• unbreakable combs (no sharp points)
• toothbrushes (in package)
• toothpaste 6-8 oz tubes (no pumps)
• soap 4-5 oz (packaged)
• Baby items
• double receiving blankets
• flat fold cloth diapers (not pre-folded or disposable)
• safety pins
• booties
• socks
• layette gowns (no footed sleepers)
• ivory soap

Here are some links on the Church's Humanitarian Center and their efforts in Haiti. I love donating to the Church's programs because we know that 100 % of what we donate goes to help. The Church is staffed with volunteers not salaried personnel.
